Wrath & Glory - Starter Set

Started: 2025-12

The Herald Varonius was never meant to become a battlefield. It became one anyway.

In the Macharian Banquet Hall the crew had turned on itself, and the agents held their ground until the food stores opened and did not stop emptying. The blast doors of the Prestige Arena sealed behind them. There would be no going back.

The Arena kept its own horrors, and its own survivors. Some of the freed could be saved. Some could not, and the agents drew that line with their own hands. A lord's attendant joined them there, a case chained to his person and an errand owed to a master no one could reach.

In the Chapel of Saints the warp stopped pretending the floor was solid. Afterwards, Sister Dauphine knelt at an altar the Emperor could reach again.

The way to the Geller Field Sanctum split. They left the opera and its sheltered talent behind and chose the garden. Fruit rotted on the trees. The menials had wed themselves to the machines they once tended, and a labourers' hymn came through the vox in voices no longer human.

Behind a sealed door, a Tech-priest was still calculating. Every answer he reached ended the same way.

The Lament went on.

  'Priest! The Pox wants you' — a lone Shambler's sermon at a sealed door in the Hydroponics Garden revealed that Broder Able was not merely trapped but hunted. The agents cut down the last Shamblers and reached him alive. His calculations promise only their deaths, and the Lament still sounds on every channel.

  The agents debated the Opera against the Garden and chose the Garden. There they found the Labourer's Lament corrupted and spreading, and Broder Able's menials fused to their machines and mutating. Seven Vox Shamblers rose to meet them; the fight was still unresolved when it ended.

• The Chapel of Saints

  The Nightmare Hulk fell in a chapel where the warp had made the floor unreliable and ranged fire untrustworthy — but it fell. Sister Dauphine reconsecrated the ground, and the sight of Saint Alicia Dominca's shrine reoriented the group at the moment they needed it most. The Hydroponics Garden waited ahead, smelling of sweet rot.

• The Prestige Arena

  2026-04-22

  In the vaulted Prestige Arena, the agents cut through necrotic Servitors and faced the harder reckoning of what to do with those the Gellerpox had already claimed. Jerhan Astoff emerged from the survivors — a Lord's attendant, a chained case, and a map of next steps. The cultists had fallen back to the Chapel of Saints.

• Crossfire

  Beneath the gilded ruin of the Macharian Banquet Hall, the agents held the line long enough to matter — until the tide from the food stores made holding pointless. A tactical retreat through corrupted corridors brought them to the Prestige Arena, blast doors sealing behind them. Whatever lay ahead, there was no longer a path back.
